Cryptic crosswords mix reversal + deletion clues (e.g., “backward A minus first letter = C”)—what’s the trickiest hybrid you decoded (flipped words + letter cuts), and how did you handle both steps? Did you ever reverse the word first, then delete the letter, and what’s the most structured wordplay moment you had?
